    If you don't want to go through a publisher, you can publish on Amazon on their self publishing site. You can find them by googling "publishing for minors." Alternatively, you can go through an alternative publisher that specializes in comic books for 14 and younger––one possibility is papercutz.com.

    If you want to write a comic book based on an actual historical figure, you can do research through books or the internet. If you have a library near you, you can work with the librarians to find information on the person, and you can also access the internet there if you don't have access otherwise. Once you have done enough research, you can start imagining what the person would be like as a superhero. What powers would this person have? How would the character interact with others? Keep in mind that learning is never a waste of time, even if you don't create a comic book.

    Myths are in the public domain, so you can create your own stories based on Greek, Egyptian, or any other mythos. You do have to be careful not to base your stories on copyrighted material, such as Marvel Comics' Thor.
